estimated per year
2018 Golf diesel engines (EA288 post-dieselgate) are more robust than earlier TDI units but DPF regeneration, injector servicing, and turbo oil-change intervals (every 20k miles) drive costs up significantly compared to petrol equivalents; budget €1,200–1,800 annually for owners doing 15k+ miles/year with regular motorway use.
